Loving Difficult People We all have difficult people in our lives. How do we "let go of the hard" and learn to be a loving presence and, at the same time, keep ourselves intact?

This week Pastor Michael continues our series "Owe No Man Anything" teaching on Loving Difficult People.  Romans 13:8-10, Luke 6:32

Sometimes, loving others feels impossible, especially when they challenge our patience. Guest Pastor Gentry Morris speaks directly to this struggle in his message from 1 John 3. He emphasizes that love isn't just an emotion; it's a gospel issue. Christians are called to love others—especially within the church—because Jesus loved us first, even when we were unlovable. We hope you feel encouraged to reflect on how we can put this love into action in tangible ways, reminding us that real love shows up in deed, not just words.

Most people fall into one of two categories. When conflict - or just difficult interpersonal things - inevitably happen, they either “cut people off” or they “care too, too much.” South Hills congregation pastor Archie Jackson stops by to talk about how Jesus challenges both sets of people when it comes to dealing with people who are difficult to love. We chat about Jesus' command to love one another, why the Church is more like the Muppets than we'd like to admit, and why it's so draining to try to connect to some people. Speakers: David Tieche + Archie Jackson

In this episode, Jenn and Ellie discuss the importance of fellowship, friendship, and faith. They reflect on their own friendship and how it has grown over time. They also compare their experiences of friendships before and after becoming Christians. They emphasize the value of deep connections and vulnerability in friendships, as well as the importance of investing time and effort into building meaningful relationships. They also discuss the themes of jealousy, being offended, and having expectations in friendships. In this conversation, Ellie and Jenn discuss the importance of taming the tongue, avoiding gossip and slander, and letting go of the need to be right in friendships. They also encourage listeners to be vulnerable and share their stories, as it can plant seeds of change in someone else's life. The conversation concludes with the reminder to love now and not wait for tomorrow, and to avoid self-righteousness and judgment in friendships.

Jesus wants us not only to love people who are lovable. He wants us to love the difficult- the complainers, the bullies, the gossipers and those who get on your last nerve. We are not perfect, yet He loves us. We must therefore love others like He does..it is a sure sign of faith.

Do you struggle to walk in love? Today, Joyce discusses agape love and the benefits of loving people who might be difficult to love.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Common Grace & Uncommon WorkDevotional: 2 of 5Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. (Luke 6:27)Last week, we began exploring how our work should be uncommonly shaped by the reality of common grace: the goodness God shows to “the righteous and the unrighteous,” his friends and his enemies (see Matthew 5:45).Today, we'll see that common grace should lead us to be good to our enemies.Interestingly, that's the context of Matthew 5:45. Jesus said, “I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you…because [God] makes his sun rise on both evil and good people, and he lets rain fall on the righteous and the unrighteous” (Matthew 5:44-45).You see it right? Jesus is saying that we should do good to our enemies because of God's common grace! God is so good that he longs to do good to “the righteous and the unrighteous.” And he's calling you and me to be the conduits for his blessings.Now, you may not have anyone at work you'd describe as an “enemy.” But do you have a boss who's hard to love? Or a co-worker who's spreading lies and gossip about you? Or a competitor who's knocking-off your product? Of course you do. Everyone is currently working with or for someone they consider to be less than friendly. God isn't calling you simply to “do no harm” to that person. But to proactively bless them! What does that look like practically?Let's say someone on your team (an employee, vendor, etc.) did a terrible job on a project, costing you a lot of time, energy, money, and maybe even social capital. They did such a bad job that they were fired or taken off of your team. Loving this “enemy” could look like:Praying that God would bless them in their careersGiving them feedback to help them in their future career (instead of, as I'm tempted to do, write the person off and get back to work)Proactively writing a LinkedIn recommendation that focuses on the things the person did do wellOffer them forgiveness for how they wronged youRefusing to speak poorly about them with those who remain on the projectI've been in the situation above and have not loved my “enemy” well. But the doctrine of common grace reminds me that I'm called to do better next time. Because God is seeking to do good to the righteous and the unrighteous. With that in mind, love your enemies well at work today!

Loving Difficult People Luke 6:27-36

Pastor Snell and David Person discuss how to love difficult people.

Loving people is only as difficult as we make it. To love like Jesus, we need to get out of our comfort zone and into the real lives of those around us.All families fight. But how should Christian families, and the family of Christ, handle conflict and resolution? This four-week series will explore the way Scripture addresses conflict, divisive issues, and the hope of the gospel to bring reconciliation and healing to tense or broken relationships. Rather than avoiding difficult topics entirely or fueling the flames of controversy, Christians have the option of faithful engagement.Questions for the Road:1) When you read “love your enemies” in Matthew 5, does any person or group of people come to mind? Knowing that you are commanded and empowered by the Holy Spirit to love them, how can you practically choose to show love to those who have been difficult to love?2) Do you tend to operate more from the Orphan Spirit or the Spirit of Adoption? How could knowing that you are perfectly loved by the Father transform you from a “porcupine” to a “puppy”?

Sometimes certain people in our lives can be difficult to love and demonstrate kindness toward. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' (Luke 6:31) or 'Turn the other cheek' (Luke 6:29) - We may know these phrases well, but what does it really look like to show compassion and love toward difficult people in difficult situations? Even more perplexing is HOW do we do this? Join Catherine, Gina and Kristen as they explore our natural responses to conflict as well as the historical Biblical context of the above verses which reveal restraint and generosity are a sign of strength, not weakness.  They offer key tips that will draw us closer to God's Will (40:20 mark) as well as help us manage the destructive nature of difficult people.  1) Have a soft answer 2a) Pray and ask for strength  2b) Choose to love from wisdom and strength received in prayer 3) When angry, forgive 4) Exhibit grace 5) Accept that others may see you as the difficult person Romans 12:18 - If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
